Lesson 4 – Velocity-Time Graphs
Learning objectives:
- Draw, plot and interpret distance-time, or speed-time graphs for
objects at different speeds and use the graphs to calculate
speed or distance travelled.
- Use the shape of a speed-time graph to calculate acceleration.
Starter:
1) What information can you get from the gradient of a distance-
time graph?
2) What does a horizontal line mean on a distance time graph?
3) How do you find the instantaneous speed on a distance-time
graph if the object is accelerating?
Marked classwork

Task:
Complete the worksheet about distance-time graphs.

Work by yourself (no talking) and do not use your devices. It is


not a test, so you can use your notes.
